Ok here's what both myself and alot of my friends think about this whole thing.


1. 1 planet when we were promiced 3 (unaceptable)

2. combat upgrade being 12 months after they started nerfing other proffs i.e CH (totally unaceptable)

3. making it totally useless unless you have JTL (so you have to buy it if you cant pre-order it, like the UK) (outragous)

4. bringing in a planet that has nothing to do with the time that the rest of the galaxy is in (what the hell is the point)


On the whole all i can see is this expansion pack is only coming out to attract new coustomer's, they do not care about the current ones, from what i can see there is no point to this pack it will flop just as JTL did.

The general oppinion of JTL that i have talked to is the only thing that was worth anything with JTL was the travel system, being able to jump direct to any planet,

oh and just an after note during this point in the timeline how meny wookies do you see in the movies? 1 yet people complain about there being lots of jedi in the game yet there were 2 jedi at this point in the movies.


Oh for people that dont know much about star wars except the films, Kashyyyk is east of corellia and south east of yarvin 4. (lets see if they get that bit right at least)


There is so much more they could of done with this expansion pack but didnt, to be honest ive seen bigger free publishes than this is.

My advise to anyone that ask's me is dont buy it, show them what a complete mess up they have made and maybe one day they might eventully learn from there mistakes. (yeah right its the devs were talking about here)


thanks for listening to me ramble, but that is the view of not just 1 but at least 10 people i know.

1. 1 planet when we were promiced 3 (unaceptable)I'll enjoy this one planet

2. combat upgrade being 12 months after they started nerfing other proffs i.e CH (totally unaceptable)Im CH and I still like it

3. making it totally useless unless you have JTL (so you have to buy it if you cant pre-order it, like the UK) (outragous)Why wouldnt someone who plays swg have JTL? Not having it at this point would just be stupid

4. bringing in a planet that has nothing to do with the time that the rest of the galaxy is in (what the hell is the point)Ive read numerous EU sw books and Kashyyyk is prominent in alot of them. Just because Lucas didnt have enough time to explorethe planetin the movies doesent mena that the planet does not exist.


On the whole all i can see is this expansion pack is only coming out to attract new coustomer's, Im not a new customer and I feel that this expansion will add to the game they do not care about the current ones, Sure they do(they like getting our money)from what i can see there is no point to this pack it will flop just as JTL did.JTL Flopping is only your opinion.I know many players who enjoy it

The general oppinion of JTL that i have talked to is the only thing that was worth anything with JTL was the travel system, being able to jump direct to any planet,

1. 1 planet when we were promiced 3 (unaceptable) When did they say 3 planets?

2. combat upgrade being 12 months after they started nerfing other proffs i.e CH (totally unaceptable)

3. making it totally useless unless you have JTL (so you have to buy it if you cant pre-order it, like the UK) (outragous) They are including JTL along with RotW which is why so many JTL people are pissed.

4. bringing in a planet that has nothing to do with the time that the rest of the galaxy is in (what the hell is the point) And what planet does have some thing to do with this time line? Dagobah? Corusant? Hoth? non- of them servered any massive roles in this point in time either.

The general oppinion of JTL that i have talked to is the only thing that was worth anything with JTL was the travel system, being able to jump direct to any planet, That is so untrue. The worst part of JTL is the inta travel, and many would like to see it gone to give flying some real purpose.

Oh for people that dont know much about star wars except the films, Kashyyyk is east of corellia and south east of yarvin 4. (lets see if they get that bit right at least) Well technically the galazy is spining, and our consept of N and S dont really apply as not all planet have the same N & S. It is also 3 dimensional so East and south east would not coreectly define it possition as it lacks the 3rd variable used in ploting points on 3D plains.

I just (like yesterday) Purchased JTL. Then I hopped online after being gone for 1 month, and was reading about the new expansion. Then I read that I would have gotten JTL for free. This PEEVED ME beyond all ends. oh well......everyone has their hand out, and I just have to give give give.

That's Murphy's Law for you. If something bad can happen, it will; at the worst possible moment. Also, if you just got JTL (as in the 30 day limit still applies), just return it. Most stores give will give you a refund or at least store credit.

anyone ever thought that maybe instead of a discount there might be some nice veteran reward for aleardy have JTL? Its to early to start saying the sky is falling. Making ROTW and JTL be bundled together will bring more people to space and help justify more space content. Have faith.

I think it's annoying they are giving JTL away, but at least I think it's only on the downloadable version through SOEs online shop and the pre-order kits from various american stores.

I really couldn't care less about paying an extra 25$ when I've been paying 15$ every month for nearly a year now - it's only a drop in the ocean, but I can see issue for some people who don't have the will/ability to find 25$ due April/May. It is true in some aspects that the expansion is "thin" but so was JTL come to think about it - however, all expansions has got a habit of adding some kind of "extra" to the people who buys it. I mean, just imagine the prices people without ROTW would pay for Kashyykk specific loot drops.

Doesn't that seem fair? If people who are paying for the new RotW expansion are getting Jump to Lightspeed free, than we should get the reversed deal. Anyone with me? (of course you are.)





First off, you have bad grammar. It is then, not than.


Secondly, you had the ability to have JTL since October while others never had that time period. So, wouldn't you say that you just paid extra to get part of the game eariler?

I totally agree. I bought JTL when it came out. Yes it did add a whole other dimension to SWG. why should I spend another 25 bucks for an expansion. When someone else who never bought JTL get both for 25?!? Totally unfair. What an outrage!!!!!!!!







That's how i feel, dont bother buying this expansion, just wait for the next and you will get this one for free.

Doubt it, probably have JTL for free again. I'm guessing that SOE now counts JTL as part of the core game and will try to get all accounts JTL enabled.
